Some games...

Alone in the Dark (PS3)
--------------------------

I've been playing this game for a couple of hours yesterday ... oh my god ... how can you rerelease a game like that with so many bugs!!!

The camera is constantly going through walls while in first or third person view and its hard to change and stay in a given view since sometimes the game switches you for no reason... it sucks a lot while you are aiming and shooting to be switched to third person view!

The world at times looks just awful nothing looks real in these moments (textures, objects).

The controls ... really hard to follow a path in third person view and stay on a path worst when you are on a ledge ... and the worst is when you are on a ledge, dropping near a electrified water and they start a cinematic spline when you drop and try to not walk in water (instant death) so as soon as it start ... let go of controller otherwise you will be dead coming back to the game.

There are some good things about the game ... the fact that you can combine different items together is pretty awesome (fire bullets!!!) and lighting a cocktail molotov... the way you look at the inventory is great too... looking inside your coat to retrieve your items.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 ( ps3)
----------------------------------
still my favorite soccer game out there... even though Fifa is coming closer and closer to the realism of PES, there is still a lot to do about control, intensity of players and animations areas.

Control on the ps3 controller is so much better since you can use in PES the arrows to control your character and the controls feel a lot better on PES. Fifa is hard to control and I fight a lot with my controller for the player to do what I really want him to do.

anyways play a soccer game any one you like but play this great sport ;)


Call of Duty : World at War (xbox360) - single player
-----------------------------------------

Finally a great Call of Duty from Treyarch... Its their best title yet ... not better than COD4 but still getting closer.

I really enjoyed the presentation this time which includes the war reels they are using to present the story, the narration is great and mostly on the US side using kiefer Sutherland's voice as the main officer who tells you what to do the whole game (on this side of the story) and many events are inspired from COD4 (like the almost dead perspective), but they do it too much I think, but the first event on the Russian side is sooooo great that you really want to take revenge.

I enjoyed pretty much everything about the game and I finished it in one sitting ... kinda small game though .... which is my only complaint.

enjoy this game if you have the time.

New position : Manager Living and Breathing World team

Yes I've got a new position on the Deus Ex team : Manager of the Living and Breathing World team.

What is that exactly ? Yeah I know kinda hard to tell since its the first time that people hear that title or team name ;)

So I'll be in charge of the overall quality of the game regarding the realism of the living aspect of the game ... I have to create events, situations that are believable for NPCs to engage in and make sure that all seems like a real area where people would live in.

Make sure life is all around the player.

It will be a great task to manage since the game will be huge :)

see ya and hope youll enjoy Deus Ex when it comes out

Game Idea #8 : Comics

Game Idea #8 : Comics
-------------------------------------------
High Concept:
The story would be represented as a comic book and the first images would be the setting for the general story of the game, but the rest of the panels would be empty until the player decided what to do in the last panel.

Platform:Nintendo DS, PC

Why it needs to be made:
Customize your own story in a new setting for a game : comic book style. Players would create, change and enjoy the outcome of their decisions and come back to them if they wanted to.

Description:
The story would unfold everytime the player would interact with the last panel with an image in. It would be a puzzle or an interaction with another character that would fill up more of the story. Depending of the choices the next panels would be drawn accordingly to the choices. As in Heroes, the future can be changed by going back to panels and making the changes if player wanted it and the story would change. There would be a lot of variations to the story.

Final thoughts:
This type of game could potentially be used to all kinds of different settings and game types and it could probably bring both community (comic book fans and game fans) together and help both medium to love one another ;)
